"Saturday Night Live" (5.5/14 in metered-market households) with host Lindsay Lohan with musical guest Jack White, dominated its time period with the highest rating of the night in metered-market households, ahead of all Saturday primetime telecasts on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. "SNL" generated its second highest rating in metered-market households this season, behind only the 8.2/19 for a late-starting telecast on January 7, the night of NBC Sports' primetime coverage of the Lions-Saints NFL Wild Card playoff game. Versus the same night last year, "SNL" is up 2 percent in metered-market households (5.5/14 vs. 5.4/13).

In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Saturday Night Live" averaged a 3.3 rating, 15 share in adults 18-49 to rank #1 among the night's telecasts ahead of all Saturday primetime programs on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. "SNL" scored its second highest rating in the Local People Meters this season, behind only the 4.6/18 of January 7, the night of the NFL Wild Card playoff game.

Here are the highlights of the eight ad-sustained programs that aired in primetime on the broadcast networks one year ago (3/4/11):

"Saturday Night Live" (5.4/13 in metered-market households), hosted by Miley Cyrus with musical guest The Strokes, dominated its time period. "SNL" was the #1 telecast of the night in metered-market households ahead of all primetime programs on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox. Versus the same night last year, "SNL" is up 8 percent in metered-market households (5.4 vs. 5.0).

In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Saturday Night Live" averaged a 3.3 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49, making it the #1 program of the night, more than doubling each primetime telecast on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.

In the 25 Local People Meter markets, "Saturday Night Live's" 3.3 matched the show's second-highest 18-49 rating of the season (also earned on February 5 with host Dana Carvey and musical guest Linkin Park), behind only the January 8 telecast, which benefited from a high-rated primetime NFL game on NBC that night.
